AN EFFICIENT THIRD-ORDER SCHEME FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL HYPERBOLIC CONSERVATION LAWS

In this paper, we present a third-order central weighted essentially nonoscillatory (CWENO) reconstruction for computations of hyperbolic conservation laws in three space dimensions. Simultaneously, as a Godunov-type central scheme, the CWENO-type central-upwind scheme, i.e., the semi-discrete central-upwind scheme based on our third-order CWENO reconstruction, is developed straightforwardly to solve 3D systems by the so-called componentwise and dimensional-by-dimensional technologies. The high resolution, the efficiency and the nonoscillatory property of the scheme can be verified by solving several numerical experiments.
